•  Oppose Slight overexposure (the centers of the flowers are blowing out) and ~40% of the luminance range is unused. Is this a picture about the whole plant in its natural environment? If it is, the DoF is too shallow, the foreground blur distracting, and the typical clusters of leaves hidden. This picture does a better job of showing the whole plant. If this is about the flower, I've taken a closer, more detailed version here that didn't even make QI. Now, for artistic impression, this is a good image. The shallow DoF that hurts its value helps with its impression. -- Ram-Man 12:12, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
  •  Question Was this image artificially blurred? At f/8 and at this distance, the DoF seems too shallow, but maybe it's just me. -- Ram-Man 12:20, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
    • The image wasn't artificial blurred. The flowers were very close to the close focus distance. In addition the optical axis is nearly parallel to the ground. The shot was taken through the grass of a meagre meadow. --LC-de 13:42, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
      • Alright, that makes sense to me. I suppose the grass is just so close to the camera that it made it look shallower than what it really was. -- Ram-Man 14:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
